Twix Thumbprint Cookies

If you’ve explored any further than this page, you know I love to bake. And right now, it’s been all about cookies. With a volleyball team named the Cookie Monsters, there’s no way of getting around not having cookies. So I’ve been creating a variety different cookies for them. (Bribery at its finest, but secretly I love it because I get to be creative). And holy schnikes, do these make a statement. They all look forward to what new cookie I come with, and their eyes definitley perked up to try these. But I don’t think they were expecting them to taste exactly like a Twix. Their little faces of delight is what I live for!

I love that these are small, but that doesn’t help you eat any less! The soft shortbread cookie is so easy to make and practically melts in your mouth. The salted caramel filling makes such a statement in this cookie. It adds just the right amount of salt to keep the cookie from being overly sweet, and the chocolate drizzle to top it all off.  **Sigh** Just heavenly.
